Zografia is owned and operated by the Greek ship management company Thenamaris.

The dry bulk carrier en route to Egypt's Port Suez sustained minor damages while transiting through the Southern Red Sea, Reuters reported.

Yesterday, the Yemeni militants fired a missile, hitting a Marshall Island-flagged dry bulk carrier, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said. The bulk carrier, M/V Gibraltar Eagle, was hit while sailing 100 miles in the Gulf of Aden. It was carrying steel cargo at the time of the incident.
